Back in ye annals of history… Well no, a couple of years
ago, I hit one of those uncomfortable phases. A low, a rut, a downer, a funk if
you will. I felt like I was drifting aimlessly. My then wonderful bf, now
wonderful husband, kept urging me to do something (!!!) – in a supportive way,
you understand. However, being a somewhat obstinate creature I plodded onwards
with determination for quite sometime in my funk.
Looking back I’m not sure what it was that did it, but the
resolve came for me to venture out into the world once more and try my hand at
something creative. The dusky environs of evening classes beckoned and I
spotted an evening class just down the road in printmaking. I had tried my
hand at the same as part of a City and Guild course in Life Drawing and really
enjoyed it. I decided the time for action had come!
I was wrong.
Due to insufficient interest the class was cancelled, my
cheque was returned and I was sorely disappointed.
That could so easily have been the end of the story. Return
of the funk.
Here’s the good news – it was just the beginning! The
beginning of a far superior story. The story of how I became a silversmith…
Wonderful to see your blog up and running - really interesting - looking forward to more.
